Lavender Siren

Soft as a sea at night: draped lilac silk with a beaded mermaid heart.

Photographed at a dark lake, the Siren is draped lavender charmeuse with a corseted bodice scattered in crystal — a mermaid worked into the beading if you look closely. The skirt gathers and falls like water deciding where to go.
